2nd & Hansen Mixed Use Development (RFP #2026-08)
Twin Falls
Description
The Agency was scheduled to rank the RFP proposals, name deChase Miksis as preferred developer, and authorize exclusive negotiations for a future deal — with a parking initiative moving in parallel.
Impact summary
Roughly 100 new downtown households plus street-level shops could boost foot traffic for existing businesses — but the deal terms, public money, and parking still have to be negotiated.

2nd & Hansen downtown redevelopment
The URA picked deChase Miksis to redevelop the downtown corner site with about 100 market-rate apartments and ground-floor retail. Exclusive negotiations start now, but the developer's $6–9 million ask, a needed height variance, and final deal terms all remain unresolved.
Downtown parking initiative
Neither developer proposal solved downtown parking, and the board called it the '800-pound gorilla' limiting future investment. A URA-led initiative with the city and private partners will run parallel to the deChase negotiations, possibly including a new parking study.
